Policy, Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

Our due diligence processes are designed to identify, assess and mitigate risks of exploitation across our supply chain. We carry out risk-based supplier audits and checks, prioritising suppliers by service type, geographic exposure and contract value. Audits include reviews of employment practices, documentation, wage payments and the conditions under which work is performed. We require that suppliers support our anti-slavery measures and provide evidence of lawful recruitment and worker treatment.

Supplier audits for Richmond upon Thames flat clearance partners include on-site visits, document verification and third-party assessments where necessary. We maintain a supplier register and action plans arising from audits with timelines for remediation. Where non-compliance is identified, we pursue corrective actions and, where needed, suspend or terminate relationships. Our approach balances practical remediation for impacted workers with the decisive enforcement of our standards to prevent recurrence.

Monitoring, Training and Responsibilities

We have established clear reporting channels to encourage confidential reporting of concerns related to modern slavery. Employees, contractors and third parties can report suspected incidents through designated internal routes or via anonymous reporting mechanisms. Reports are treated seriously; every allegation is investigated promptly and impartially, and we provide protections against retaliation for reporters acting in good faith.
